ISOL 532 - Telecommunications & Network Security

Instructor: Dr. Awny Alnusair

The Task

You and your group will research an advanced telecommunications and network security topic. For the purpose of this paper, you can pick your own research topic as long as it relates to the objectives of this course. When you decide your topic, you need to obtain my approval.

Your task is to write a report summarizing your research (about 6-10 pages). The writing should be original. Before you begin writing your report, you need to read as many references related to the subject as you can. Basically, you would feel a bit insecure writing about a topic until you have digested and completely understood several references.

You will have a table of contents for the paper with sections as shown in the suggestions below::

• Abstract section summarizing your research • Introduction section: this section provides an overview or background of the topic and its

purpose, including o Define the subject area and why is this subject important?

• Body of work sections: o What are the key issues (pros/cons, if appropriate)? o Identify benefits, obstacles, innovations as appropriate o Methodology: key ideas, summaries, measures, analytical discussions, etc.

• Conclusion section: analyze and summarize your findings, state your opinions, conclusions, recommendations. It is common for such a paper to suggest new ideas, critique some of the existing ideas, and propose some new directions.

• References section: Sources and references need to be cited properly using APA format. Around 10 or more references is appropriate, some of which must be scholarly peer- reviewed articles
